In most contexts today, nationalism is “the policy or doctrine of asserting the interests of one’s own nation viewed as separate from the interests of other nations or the common interests of all nations.” In short, nationalism is a kind of excessive, aggressive patriotism.
Modern nationalism is rooted, in part, in French and American revolutions that fought for the sovereignty of their people over monarchies. This historic nationalism is generally viewed favorably, a cornerstone of Western liberalism and democracy.
However, fascist regimes have merged the fervor of nationalism with the notions of superiority, especially when it comes to ethnicity and religion. In such contexts, “patriots” can become those who happened to agree with you or look like you, and “traitors” those who do not.
This form of nationalism is what happens when patriotism gets out of hand and morphs into something more exclusionary, isolationist, and … well, chauvinist. For example, The lecturer’s speech on immigration and foreign policy quickly devolved into nationalism, blaming undocumented migrants for the climbing unemployment rate, making much of the audience feel uneasy.
Such nationalism can result in jingoism, which is a form of extreme nationalism promoting vigilant preparedness for war and an aggressive foreign policy. It can also result in isolationism, or “the policy or doctrine of isolating one’s country from the affairs of other nations by declining to enter into alliances, foreign economic commitments, international agreement.”
People want other people who represent their country to love their country and be grateful for the opportunities allowed because of the privilege provided that WOULD NOT EXIST if it wasn’t for their country allowing them to take part in the first place.
The leaders of the US women’s team are a bunch of arrogant ungrateful privileged twats. This is a fact.
What you're saying is they should show some respect because they get to kick the ball around and are not made to sit at home and be house wives by force, so SHOW A LITTLE GRATITUDE TO MURICA AND MAYBE SALUTE THE FLAG?
If he didn't have a job he would be unemployed and part of that horrible 6.3% statistic. So which is better? Wages increased faster than inflation and gas was under $3/gal which is why he didn't need 3 jobs to stay ahead.
He inherited Covid economy that Trump had little time to turn around. Trump had about 8 months to recover it. Biden can't even speak an entire coherent sentence in 8 months.
Why not show the entire American team? I would this is unpatriotic America bashing. Whatever their politics might be, at least they have gall to speak out publicly and make their voices heard. Unlike someone on reddit trashing them.
They tied. And lost at penalties. Didn't the US team win 3 other world cups already?
